Chapter 23 Death Threat, Ding Shiyu Completely Faces Lin Xiu!

Wan Zhuoyun’s legs and stomach could not help but tremble. He only felt sweat all over his body and his throat was dry and thirsty. He did not dare to make any movements.

“What’s wrong? Why don’t you continue to clamor?”

Lin Xiu stretched out his right hand and controlled the fireball to rise higher. He said as he approached the two of them.

Seeing that Lin Xiu’s outstretched right hand was about to fall at any moment, Ding Shiyu did not dare to bet on whether the other party would really make a move.

However, she understood that Lin Xiu’s strength was extraordinary now. If they really attacked at this time, she and Wan Zhuoyun would most likely not be able to defeat Lin Xiu! Thinking of this, Ding Shiyu immediately said anxiously, “Lin Xiu, don’t be impulsive. If there’s anything, we can talk it out! This cavern might be very fragile after a hundred years. If you smash it with your Fireball Spell, it’s very likely that the cavern will be destroyed!”

Her tone was anxious, and she uncharacteristically gave in and persuaded Lin Xiu.

However, Lin Xiu only glanced at Ding Shiyu, and his eyes that were filled with killing intent turned to Wan Zhuoyun, looking as if he could attack at any time.

“Impulsive?”

Lin Xiu’s face was as cold as ice, revealing an expression as if he had misheard.

“This piece of trash kept saying that he wanted to kill me after entering the cave. I was only protecting my own safety. You call this impulsive?”

“I…” Facing Lin Xiu’s questioning, Ding Shiyu was actually speechless for a moment.

“If you have nothing else to say, then accept my gift!” A dense smile appeared on his face. After saying that, Lin Xiu no longer hesitated and immediately lowered his raised right hand.

At the same time, the scorching fireball floating in the air had also completely broken free from his restraint. Carrying a terrifying aura, it directly smashed toward Wan Zhuoyun’s direction.

“Be careful!”

Seeing that Lin Xiu would actually make a move under the surveillance of the fire brigade leader, Ding Shiyu was completely shocked.

She subconsciously shouted.

She immediately condensed several wind blades without hesitation and slashed at the fireball that was about to fall from the sky.

The pale green wind blades intertwined with the scorching flames.

The washbasin-sized fireball was immediately cut by the wind blades. The two energies devoured each other and exploded with dazzling light in the air.

Seeing this situation, Wan Zhuoyun did not dare to hesitate and immediately turned back to run towards the tunnel.

However, in just a breath, there was already a winner between the Fireball Spell and the Wind Blade Spell.

The wind blades had completely dissipated, and the basin-sized fireball had become much smaller under the weakening of the wind blades. The temperature in the air had also decreased significantly.

However, even so, the Fireball Spell did not dissipate. It still carried a valiant aura as it smashed toward Wan Zhuoyun who had escaped a few meters away.

Bang!

The fireball smashed down heavily, followed by a dull sound.

The flames in the fireball instantly scattered, burning the ground and some of the walls black.

Under the impact of the enormous energy, Wan Zhuoyun’s body was like a bird with broken wings, and was sent flying. It was only until he wiped a long mark on the ground that he slowly stopped.

The scorching temperature almost scorched his hair, and the violent impact also made him spit out a mouthful of blood, his expression somewhat dispirited.

-32 A red damage number floated up, and the HP bar above Wan Zhuoyun’s head instantly shrank by a chunk, leaving only about one-third.

This damage was even when Ding Shiyu had cast the Wind Blade in advance to weaken the damage of the Fireball Spell.

Ding Shiyu could not help but gasp when she saw a few centimeters deep pit on the charred ground not far away.

Fortunately, Lin Xiu’s class was an Unspecialized Class, so his spiritual power was not high.

If he was a Mage, the damage of a Fireball Spell would definitely increase to more than 60! The damage calculation of the level 2 Fireball was not as simple as multiplying 1.8 magic attack. In fact, it also had an additional 40 points of basic magic damage.

This was because every time an active skill leveled up, its effect would multiply. Therefore, even if it was a basic skill that could be learned in the early stages, if it could be upgraded to level 5, it could still cause explosive damage.

A chill rose in her heart. Only now did Ding Shiyu truly realize that Lin Xiu’s existence was definitely a huge hidden danger to their Ding Family.

However, now, Ding Shiyu could not be bothered with Lin Xiu anymore.

She immediately jogged to Wan Zhuoyun’s side and helped him up with a concerned expression.

“Can you still hold on?”

Seeing that Wan Zhuoyun’s injuries were rather serious, Ding Shiyu immediately frowned.

After calculating for a moment, she took out a bottle of Red Potion and handed it to Wan Zhuoyun.

“Quickly recover, I’ll go negotiate with Lin Xiu.” Ding Shiyu was worried that Lin Xiu would kill him, so even though she felt a little heartache for the cost of the potion, she still handed it over to Wan Zhuoyun.

The latter took the potion with difficulty and immediately crushed it with trembling hands. The potion shattered into pieces in an instant, and the red essence in the bottle immediately entered his body, continuously repairing his damaged bones and tendons.

“Whew…”

His wounds were healed, and his strength was replenished. This positive change made Wan Zhuoyun somewhat unable to suppress the emotions in his heart, and he could not help but clench his fists. Although everything was slowly getting better, his expression was still ugly. Wan Zhuoyun had never thought that he would actually fall into such a sorry state under Lin Xiu’s attack.

When he spat out blood earlier, he felt that death was approaching.

He did not want to experience that pain a second time.

It was actually his fiancée Ding Shiyu’s turn to save him. His heart was incomparably humiliated. Being beaten up so miserably by Lin Xiu, he was even more furious!

If it was a few days ago, Lin Xiu definitely would not dare to offend him like this, let alone really want to kill him.

Now, the other party had only Awakened for less than two days and had already climbed above his head.

This feeling of being sullen and having nowhere to exert his strength made him almost crazy and difficult to calm down.

However, in the current situation, no matter what he did, it was impossible to hurt Lin Xiu in the slightest. All Wan Zhuoyun could do was to be helpless and furious.

On the other side, Ding Shiyu’s tone softened in order to ease the current situation. “Lin Xiu, if this continues, it won’t be good for either of us. I think we can talk,” Ding Shiyu took a few steps forward and said sincerely. Lin Xiu stared coldly at Ding Shiyu. Although the fury in his heart had subsided a little, there were still aftershocks.

“What do you want to talk about? Pretend to reconcile with me first? Then wait for an opportunity to attack me?!”

He held his Double-Edged Battle Axe and stood straight on the spot as he spoke in an unfriendly tone.

Ding Shiyu’s expression changed as if she had been hit by the other party’s trick. After a while, she forced a smile. “Don’t say that. This underground cave is so dangerous. Perhaps there are other social animals like the Bloodthirsty Greater Rats in other places. Only by cooperating with us without any second thoughts can the three of us benefit.”
